'Lot of fabrication' in Musharraf's book: Gen Malik
One could only pity the publisher who had allegedly paid more than a million for a book of lies. Let's not worry about that. Our concern must be whether India should engage in talks with Pak with such a liar as its head ?
I still remember the days of Kargil war, when Pak refused to accept the bodies of their own dead regular soldiers and Indian army gave an honorable burial to those soldiers.
Pak during and after the war maintained that its army was not involved in this operation and hence accepting of those bodies would mean that it was lying about the involvement of its army. Till the war of words between Nawaz Sharif and Musharraf recently, this was Pak's stand. Musharraf in his own words and his book had accepted that Pak army was involved and he was the architect of the operation.

Describing Pakistan President Pervez Musharraf as a timid general, former Indian Army chief Gen V P Malik on Tuesday said there was a lot of fabrication about the Kargil conflict in his book In the Line of Fire.
"The book is stingy on truth. From the accounts I have read, it appears to be a narration with no references and there appears to be a lot of fabrication," Malik, who was the army chief during the 1999 conflict, told PTI.
On Musharraf's claims that the then Pakistan Prime Minister Nawaz Sharif had decided to withdraw troops from strategic features in Kargil sector, Malik said, "In his book Musharraf comes across as a timid general and seems to be passing the buck to Sharif."
Dismissing claims of mujahideen carrying out the Kargil operation, he said Musharraf in his book had admitted to the participation of the Northern Light Infantry in the fighting, supported by other regular troops.
